Board of Agriculture , true to its duty ,
has annually presented to the public ,
at its Fairs , the products , resources
and possibilities of this wonderful
young State , the flower of the New
West , a region of couutiy known until
a few ears ago comparatively , as a
barren waste. These pioducts have
been found , on actual examination
without superiors anywhere , both as to
quality and yields. This year corn
and vegetables , have been badly
scorched , iu some parts of the State , i ; .
is true. And yet , in many other paits ,
they are good. Small grain never was
better.
The Fair Management is going right
along with the Fair as usual , this year ,
Sept. 2 to 6. Have greatly improved
the Old Fair Grounds , adjoining Lin
coln , lately purchased by the State. A
new woven wire fence has been placed
around the whole grounds ; all the old
buildings .have been repaired , painted
and put in the best conJition. Nine
teen new , large and commodious burns
for live stock have been constructed.
Water from City Water , works in all
parts of the grounds Rail Roads , both
passenger and freight , run into tiie
grounds. Reduced Rail Road passen
ger lates fioin all stations in the State.
